I was troubleshooting some issues today and reading the "HowTo" book.
In one location it warned about editing the .conf file on a running
system, since it DOES re-read it on each new connection or at approx 60
second intervals. Then in another chapter made an apparently
conflicting statement about "remember to restart after the changes."
From what I saw today on 3.3.x it did reconfig itself on the fly.
